VIVA LA JUICY
The Story
Viva La Juicy is the fragrance that put Juicy Couture on the perfume map—a playful, unapologetically sweet floral gourmand that became a cultural phenomenon when it launched in 2008. Harry Fremont and Honorine Blanc crafted a scent that captures the brand's glam-meets-fun aesthetic perfectly: wild berries and gardenia wrapped in caramel and praline. It is the fragrance equivalent of charm bracelets and bedazzled everything—and millions of women fell in love.
